Community Living Greater Sudbury – Family Home Program

The Family Home Program is an alternative to group home living. It allows each individual to become a thriving member of his or her community. We seek a variety of families or individuals (Home Providers) who will welcome and embrace someone (home sharers) into their family and provide them with love, support, care, encouragement and a family bond. We have also supported adults living independently in their community.

Our goal is to locate, match-up and then assist both parties in getting together to function as a ‘family home’, one that embodies the true family spirit. For some individuals, family home will become a permanent address. For others, it may serve as a stepping stone to a relatively independent life within the community.

Family home can provide a place to develop positive relationships, enhance social and life skills as well as allow them the opportunity to become a more active member of the community. A team of caseworkers ensure the coordination of specialized services such as medical, respite, community links, etc., for the homesharers and providers.
